Daily Driver Build?

Yes, I know I made another thread, I like to get opinions on stuff because I'm inexperienced. So as the somewhat broke college kid I now am, I have decided to not go my original route of turboing my 08 Sport. Instead, I am going to prime my car for a supercharger when I get more money as I can buy and use most of the parts now. Right now I plan on getting a bad mab header with a zzp 2.5" catted dp and a 2.5" catted magnaflow exhaust/muffler and a s3 zzp heat exchanger. I'm going to drop my car a little bit on either YYZs or Eibach pros also get some LNF shocks/struts. I'm gonna get my neighbor to tune my car for me(just found out I live like 8 houses from Mongorat) and leave the car at that until like I said, I get the funds to build a nice sc 2.4l. Am I missing something from what I plan to get? Thoughts and opinions? Anything helps.

Parts list:
ZZPerformance - 2.5 inch Stainless Cobalt/Ion Downpipe #ZZ-E25DP
Magnaflow - Magnaflow Catback System #
BAD-MAB.com :: The best Cobalt Shorty Header Available
Powell YYZ Spring Pkg YYZSKIT
ZZPerformance - ZZP LSJ S3 Cobalt Heat Exchanger #ZZ-S3HE-COBALT

Do you have an LSJ intake manifold?

Nope I plan on getting some kind of CAI or SRI. I can't believe I forgot to mention that.

That would be a waste of money to get an intake if you're going SC. Just wait because you're going to need a new one. And I meant intake manifold, not the actual air intake itself. You need a manifold from an LSJ.

I'm in the middle of supercharging my LE5 right now. Trust me, you want to do A LOT of reading and research before attempting it. I read about it for a solid 2 months before buying anything. I still don't know it all, I'm going by the information that is already provided in the forum.

As for the manifold, mongorat might have one. If not, crate engine depot does. I got mine out of a local junkyard but that was a 1 in a million find.

I'm gonna stop up mongo's soon and see if he has anything I might need just collecting dust.

Oh and if you haven't seen it yet, head over to the HowTo section and look for Beck's supercharger build on the LE5. I got a lot of info from that!
